Centre is an excellent environment to foster learning! We have caring, intelligent professors; an amazing and socially diverse student body; and a beautiful campus ripe with opportunities to explore Kentucky and the world.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit the campus and stay overnight with a student! Be prepared to be more than just a number--don't be surprised if President John Roush himself stops you to say hi! Study abroad as many times as you can.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Centre is known as the Harvard of the South for a reason. Profs don't give grades; you earn them. If you love a challenge and mental stimulation, this is the place for you.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Virtually everyone lives on campus, which is a great way to meet people. Some of the upperclassmen dorms are beautiful, with lots of housing options for just you or even a group of friends. Nearly everything around town is accessible by foot or bike if you don't have a car.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Cowan is the ubiquitous dining choice on campus for most meals, but you can always stop by Jazzman's for coffee if you're going to study. There are nice and affordable restaurants around town, as well as your favorite fast-food chains.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Stay on campus for a weekend! There are frat parties, concerts, plays, volunteer groups and movies to participate in. Danville is a moist town with a liquor store (finally!) and restaurants that serve drinks. If you're in the car, head to Lexington or Louisville with a friend to explore the Bluegrass.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Centre does an amazing job of offering tons of scholarships, financial aid options, and resources to just about any student that applies. The Centre Guarantee says that you'll graduate in 4 years with the chance to study abroad and work at an internship--or the 5th year is free.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The rope swing in front of Old Centre is a great place to picnic. Run the Flame if you're not afraid of nudity or a citation. Never step on the seal in front of Old Centre or run the risk of not graduating!

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The DPS (dept of public safety) officers patrol campus regularly and respond quickly to any calls. Dorms require swipe card access, as well as the academic buildings after dark. The Student Center is open all night if you want to study in a public, well-lit environment.
